My kind of recipe is one that doesn't require me to shop at expensive outlets or lose all of my paycheck on one shopping trip. Well then, it comes as no surprise that I jumped with joy as soon as I found this recipe. Using chickpeas – or Kabuli Chana, as they're called in most Indian homes – I can now whip up gooey chocolatey yumminess.

Let's start, shall we? Kabuli Chana & Chocolate cookies are the perfect choice for all vegan dessert lovers and pretty much anybody with a sweet tooth! Oh and needless to say, this does NOT taste like chickpeas at all; it tastes like cinnamon-y mornings, vanilla ice cream-laden desserts, and overall goodness, TBD promises :)

4. Stop the processor, ensure the mixture along the sides is also pushed down, and blend for another 2-3 minutes until each ingredient has been mixed thoroughly
5. Add the Kabuli Chana chocolate cookies' mixture back to the bowl and gently fold in the chocolate chips
6. On the greased skillet, add this mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes until your inserted knife comes out clean
7. Depending on your heat and vessel, Kabuli Chana chocolate cookies may even be cooked sooner, so ensure you begin the knife test at 20 minutes
